Dallas Willard - Why the World Is a Perfectly Safe Place for You

Dallas explains why the world is a perfectly safe place for us. In Christ, we are safe from harm even if we are not safe from hurt. His message is followed by Marti Ensign's powerful story from the East African mission field and a Q&A with Richard Foster. Filmed at the 1999 Renovaré international conference, Dallas's opening comments reflect that he was filling in for Glandian Carney who was originally scheduled to speak at this session of the conference.

Dallas Willard had a great way of calmly expressing truth that has always spoken to me. A great resource and mentor!

truly one of a kind human being

I don’t feel safe. But I want to. Maybe with the help of Christ my mind can change.

[@michaelbrickley2443]

It’s a state of mind. It’s embracing the truths Christ presented to us. The world is NOT a safe place but this is not our home. Believe me, at the moment of your passing, your spirit will be in the spiritual realm and you will never miss this life. I was sent back from the other side to be a witness to His truth with more evidence. Shalom

One of the most brilliant men I have heard. A very deep man. I’m catholic and we have our own outstanding and inspired thinkers and saints etc but Dallas Williard is still one of the best I’ve heard to speak of God. A beautiful man.

[@michaelbrickley2443]

Dallas read and studied Catholic mystics. He was very open to the truth that all denominations have their truths. He took Richard Foster to see Agnes Sanford. How funny is it that Richard was amused about a Quaker and a Southern Baptist going to see an Episcopalian in a Lutheran Church? Have a blessed rest of your life and keep the focus on Christ, Yahweh and the Holy Spirit

Wonderful truth that I needed to hear today

Looked it up. It is a free PDF now. Dallas quoted the 3rd sentence. Close enough! A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life.

Love Dallas Willard. Brings it all right down to the living person living in reality. Ministry already has more than enough theory.

Dallas Willard speaks of our energy empowered with our desires, and divine purpose. Our nature is revealed when we in alignment with God. Like a stream, we are the keeper to direct a life of vision and heart.

This is so orthodox! “There are three powers in the soul-the thinking, the excitable (the energetic), and the desiring. By the thinking power we seek to understand what is good; by the desiring power we desire the good we have understood; by the excitable power we strive and fight for it.” Maximus the Confessor

Jesus slept. All night must've prayed. And dreamt like baby's

[@uiPublic]

What a blessing He let sinners and sinned against alike in His Kingdom see God's as children

[@Liminalplace1]

Was Jesus nuts? No harm can come to us
